SPOILED THEIR a'scUssIoN."
A Carload of Colored Excursionists
Searched for Concealed Weapons.


OF late the Central railroad authorities
have received many complaints from resi-
dents along the line of the road, to the effect
that the negro excursionists keep up a re
vover fusilade all along the line, greatly to
the danger of the people living near the
track The Central officials have been
greatly annoyed by these practices of
the turbulent negroes, and have decided
to stop it at whatever cost. Yesterday
afternoon just as the shoo-hy train was
about TO leave and all the negroes were in
their car, a squad of police entered the
depot and proceeded to the passenger plat
form An officer was stationed at the end
of the car before the inmates of il were
aware of any unusual proceedings No
sooner had they espied the blue coat and
brass buttons than the ear was
in wonderful. ferment Heads kept
ponyAag in and out of the windows trying
ascertain the cause of the policemens APP
pearance, and one or two young negroes had
such guilty consciences that they attempted
TO roll out of the windows head first.
The officers entered the car, and began
searching for contra5and weapons. The scene
that ensued was indescribablI rich. The
women loudly protested, the men scowled,
and said naughty words under their breath
and even the pickaninnies set up howl as
their protest The officers could not
unders tand why 50 many liquor TASKS were
found till they happened to recollect that
up country was dry, and the negroes were
laying in supplies for dry siege. Had
the search been for whisky the hearts of the
officers would have burst with
JOY at the mighty seizure Bottles of every
size, color and hue; round, square, long,
short, fatal were filed with the usual
supplies One old woman even had
two cologne bottles filled up with the
strong scented article, and both of them
snugly tucked away. The search brought
to light only two revolvers. and james
Bond and Richard Roberts were escorted TO
the barracks, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons contrary to the statutes of
Georgia. The rest OF the passengers
smoothed their raiment and as the train
rolled off the melodious sounds of thirty or
forty voices, all pitched in a high key and
their opinion of Savannah's
ways generally, sounded like a swarm Of
angry bees

What the Result Will Be When the
Pilots Association Breaks Up


Friday morning the NEWS announced
that Captain W. j. Thompson, of the pilot
boat Odell, had given notice to the Pilots
Company that he intended to withdraw
from the Association October 2 Some of
the pilots were seen Yesterday and asked re-
gardlng the effect this withdrawal would
have on the Association. The general
opinion expressed was that the pool would
be broken up and every pilot would look
out for himself st has been brewing for

changed, and all the boats will be put in

Under the old system only one boat had

frequently relieved. Now the severe and
close competition will compel all the boats
to work lively for vessels, and the result
will be that most Of them will be out about
all the time. This will cause the men just
so much extra expense and work

Killed a Little Girl.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 16.-A pecul-
lar murder was committed in Lane aster
county yesterday by a eight-year-old
colored boy. He and his sister and
another girl about three years OF age
were eating watermelon. They had a
dispute, and the boy, while the girls
had their backs turned, reached down
ali old dOuble-barreled gun, cooked it
and approached them in an angry man
ner, saying he was going to Kill them
both. He aimed the gun at the girls,
but he was hardly able to hold it up,
and before he could shoot his sister
caught him by the arm and begged him
not to kill her. The boy finally agreed
to put the gun up, but while doing SO,
either by accident or purposely, he dis
charged the weapon, which was heavily
loaded with buckshot. The charge
passed through his sisters arm and took
effect in the breast of the other girl,
Alice HOeg, killing her instantly. The
sister is badly wounded, but may re-
cover with the loss of all arm. The cor

How Railroads Can Evade Pay
ing Taxes.

How Railroads Can Evade Pay
ing Taxes.
Special to the Globe
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 16.-A GLOBE
representative to-day interviewed the
state authorities concerning the matter
of railway companies failing to pay taxes
on land granted them by the state, to
which attention was called by acommu-
nication of the citizens of Superior,
signed ''Anti-Land GrabberS," in Mon
days GLOBE. The facts brought out by
consultations with officials here are de-
cidedly interesting. The law in this
state bearing on the matter is very Pc
culiar. There are two kinds of grants,
one to be made by the governor
and the other by the commissioner of.
lands. Railroad grants are made by the
governor, and the state is not required.
to notify the county clerk. In that in
stance the state officials claim that it is
the business of the county clerks to
make inquiry of the secretary of Stater
if they want information, when fuIli
report will be rendered them. In this
case if the clerks fail to make inquiry it
would seem as though there was colIu-
sion between them and the railroad
companies. 1t is quite certain that there
are immense tracts OF land owned by,
railroad companies upon which no taxes
whatever are paid. In this connection
it may be interesting to know the
amount of land granted to the Omaha
company, one that owns extensive
grants in Northwestern Wisconsin. The
lands granted to this company, or the
companies nowcOnsOlidated with it, by
the state, aggregate l 1,405.090 acres, and
fhnCn nfad Inv thu CrAnaral
ment, 461, ,6S5 acres. If the reports are
true, and there is no reason to suspect
otherwise, in most instances, it can be,
readily seen what an enormous amount
the state is losing annually. The law
requires that the companies shall pay
taxes ON lands from the time they re-
ceive patent, but by clever construc-
ton of the statutes the state officials are
relieved from the duty of notifying
county officers and these corporations
gain decided point.
